Dr. Francis Tobey

A Fond Farewell (But Not Goodbye!)

In February 2024, we bid a heartfelt and tearful farewell to the wonderful Dr. Frances Tobey after an exceptional 10-year career at our hospital. Dr. Tobey accepted an exciting new role as an instructor at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, where she now inspires and educates the next generation of veterinarians in general practice medicine.

Beloved by clients and team members alike, Dr. Tobey was known for her warm demeanor, compassionate care, and remarkable ability to explain complex medical conditions in a clear, thoughtful way. Her genuine love for animals and dedication to client education made her a trusted and deeply respected part of our community.

Although she’s moved on to teach full-time, Dr. Tobey continues to be a part of our extended family. She still lends a helping hand by covering occasional relief shifts—so don’t be surprised if you spot her friendly face during your next visit. We’re grateful for the years we shared and thrilled that we still get to see her from time to time
